Existing SugarCRM Campaigns

Justin Ferguson

Hi Community,

I have have a customer who uses SugarCRM webforms and SugarCRM Campaigns. My knowledge of either of these is zero, so the following question they asked me I don't know if it even makes sense.

As part of using Sugar Market, they are going to start to use Sugar Market Forms.

The question they asked me was: will they be able to sync the new forms back to existing campaigns in SugarCRM?

My first assumption was - why would you want to do that when everything else is getting done in Sugar Market, Campaigns, Forms, Nurtures etc.

I know we can set push campaign information back into the CRM, but would that meet their requirement?

Kind regards

Justin

    Hi Justin,

    If I understand correctly, the short answer is yes.

    In Sugar CRM, there are Web to Leads functionality. Basically, this allows you to create a form to be embedded into your existing website to capture lead information. Upon submission, a Lead record is created within Sugar. As a requirement, you have to link the form to a Campaign within Sugar. You can create multiple forms associated with same or different campaigns, so you can have multiple enquiry or lead capture forms.

    As you said, Sugar Market can do all that too. So the key question is what kind of information do the end users want to see in association with the lead in regards to landing pages and campaigns.

    Hi Romney,

    Thank you for taking the time to answer and the explanation on how campaigns work in Sugar CRM, that was really helpful.

    I'm still trying to get my head around why my customer would want to continue mapping forms in Sugar Market to Campaigns in Sugar CRM, when they're going to be running all marketing aspects from Sugar Market they should just finish with using the Campaigns in Sugar CRM.

    If there was a best practice on this it would be great to know, but I know each company's marketing process could be different. I'm more for advising them to do everything in Sugar Market and push various data points back into the CRM.

    Kind regards

    Justin
